Meet Maria, one of the most amazing seniors headed to Park High School in a little over a month! Maria’s story is one of beautiful growth and transformation. I first met her when she was fostered by a loving family in our church. From the beginning, it was clear that Maria, despite the challenges of the past, had a bright spirit and immense heart for those around her. Over the years, she was adopted by her foster family, marking the start of a new chapter filled with love and support, we were beyond honored to be there to celebrate her and then to experience her being dedicated to the Lord with her family!

In our fast-paced digital age, where fleeting moments are often captured and quickly discarded, there's something profoundly special about a well-timed extended family photo. These snapshots, though seemingly simple, hold a depth of meaning that transcends time, offering a unique way to connect with our past, present, and future.
Early mornings along the Mississippi River are always beautiful and fun, especially when you're capturing the love between two people like Samantha and Eric. As a photographer, moments like these remind me why I love my job—the chance to freeze these fleeting, intimate moments in time. They will only ever enjoy this engagement period once! Samantha and Eric chose Hastings Lock & Dam 2 for their engagement session, a picturesque spot where we could take in the beauty of the river. I was thrilled to see that there was still a beach with all the rain we have had lately! Despite the windy weather that made eyes water a bit, this couple handled it with grace and humor. Samantha's laughter and Eric's smile never wavered despite the occasional gusts.
Documenting the growth and bond of a family over the years is a privilege I cherish as a photographer! The Hellen family has been a joy to work with, and this year's family portrait session at Vermillion Falls in Hastings was another chance to walk through life together. Despite a series of challenges—a rain delay, a sick kiddo, and a change in location due to flooding—we finally found ourselves surrounded by the natural beauty of Vermillion Falls. The waterfall provided a stunning backdrop as the Hellen family embraced the spirit of adventure and togetherness, but a very loud one at that!
How cute are these kiddos? Their mom reached out to me a month ago with hopes of getting family portraits scheduled. With the little sister turning 6 months, they needed an updated family photo. With all the rain we have had in Minnesota lately, I have had to do more rescheduling portraits than ever, so when she reached out a few days before their shoot and shared that they are hoping to get this done, we worked on moving up their date and ended up having the perfect weather for their session! The catch on why we really needed to reschedule? They are headed out of town for the summer on a new family adventure! I look forward to seeing them again and asking how it all went while we document their precious family!
